Isotoma fluviatilis

It becomes adorned with masses of small, white flowers from spring through until autumn as it grows to 5 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Pratia Alba is commonly used as a ground cover, an alternative to a grass lawn, included in white and cottage gardens, or planted between paving stones and the like. It also looks amazing when grown in a hanging basket and allowed to trail over the sides.
